Worship Leaders & Associates at Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Worship leader speakingLive Oak is fortunate to have a strong team of trained lay Worship Leaders (WL) who regularly create meaningful, reflective services for us. Being a Worship Leader requires a focused commitment, but from that commitment grows a better understanding of one's own spiritual outlook. Moreover, Worship Leaders enjoy the electrifying connection that comes from creating community worship.

Each Worship Leader takes responsibility for four or five services per year. They support one another and work with Worship Associates to provide varied voices for our community. Each year, we invite new members and friends to rotate onto the Worship Leader team.

Worship Associates (WA) also enjoy the connection of creating community worship. Each Worship Associate works with a Worship Leader to plan and conduct services. WAs may be asked to deliver the Call to Worship, introduce the Embracing Meditation, a Silent Meditation, and/or the Sharing of Responsibility. WAs often offer a a short personal reflection related to the day's topic.

Worship Creation training covers the basics of leading worship and allows time for reflection and discussion about the topics being planned for services for the coming year. Worship Leaders and Worship Associates usually serve for a period of two years.

Our current Worship Leaders are Kate Hand, Kim Rankin, Jay Roller, Jody Savage, and Richard Stromer. And working with them are Worship Associates Peter Hand, Mindy Mull, Darlene Pagano, and Cia Robles.

In addition to our wonderful lay leaders, we endeavor to bring in guest ministers and speakers to enrich our program throughout the year.
